I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Google (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2021

Lengthy process, helpful recruiter.
Generally good interviewer. Some not well prepared. Kind of unexpected behavioral question. Consists of two coding, two system design, one behavioral. The coding interviews I feel similar to the prep site, the design interviews are quite open and one of that turned into open discussions.

Disconnected. Uninterested recruiter. Lack of transparency throughout the process. I passed all interviews and the recruiting team was not able to connect me to any team, months later, asked me to clear some technical interviews again, which I did, and failed to connect me to a team.
